Chapter 65 You are lurking deep enough

"General, have another drink and get drunk to relieve your worries!"

In the water army camp of Guandu, Cheng Zi, who was half drunk and half awake, poured a glass of wine and advised the depressed Gan Ning opposite him. The latter was a little helpless when he heard this, but finally he picked up the glass and sighed and poured down a glass of turbid wine.

This is a partial tent in the camp of the Guandu Water Army. In addition to Gan Ning and Cheng Zi, there are also Han Zhong, the son of Han Dang, Huang Shan, the son of Huang Gai, and the other water army lieutenants and captains. Since Pang Tong seized power, these unreliable people have been placed under house arrest here. Of course, in order to prevent the army from being unstable, Pang Unification Time did not kill them. Gan Ning, who was depressed, listened to Pang Lin, the new sailor, shouting and passing orders outside in his ears, and his mood naturally couldn't get better.

"I don't know what's going on with the Lord." Huang Shan took a sip of wine and sighed. Han Zhong, who was beside him, said with some hope, "It is said that General Zhao has sent troops to Wancheng, and he must be able to save the lord."

"If General Zhao hadn't been far away in Xichuan, how could Pang Shiyuan be so arrogant?" Cheng Zi said with hatred when he heard the words. Gan Ning, who had been silent, poured the wine. At this time, he also spit out a sentence: "It's a pity that the people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all ungrateful. Now Pang Shiyuan is a little encircled, and then he plots to rebel and doesn't care about the master who is close at hand!"

"It's all right. Yanzhou and Yuzhou are tricky, and there are no loyal people!" The yellow handle sighed. Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, a voice came from outside the account: "Who said that there was no loyal and righteous man in Yanzhou?"

"Li Zhengfang?" Gan Ning was also excited when he heard the words. He quickly opened the door and saw that it was Li Yan who walked into the tent with a smile on his face. However, this is not the most unexpected thing for Gan Ning. What's more unexpected is that Li Yan is followed by Pang Lin, who is tied up with five flowers.

"Li Zhengfang, what are you?" Gan Ning couldn't react for a moment and asked quickly. Li Yan smiled and said, "Xingba, I, Li Zhengfang, have been dormant for a month, and then I found this opportunity to let you go. Now that the lord is trapped in Xingyang, General Zhao leads his troops out of Wancheng and is about to fight with Cao Hong under the city. At this time, if you lead the sailors up the current and go straight into the rear army of Xingyang, you will be surprised and win a complete victory!" Li Yan smiled and said.

"Zhengfang, your boy is still with us!" Gan Ning suffocated for a long time, and finally said a word. Behind him, Cheng Zi and others were also surprised and happy. However, Li Yan smiled and said, "I, Li Yan, am deeply impressed by the kindness of the Lord. How can I see death and not be saved? It's just that Pang Shiyuan and others came back with troops in the past. Even if I want to save the Lord, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 troops and horses under my command, and I have to guard against Cao Qian. How can I deal with 100,000 troops? We have to bear with it for the time being to gain the trust of others. Now that Liu Shuye has led his army to Jingnan, Fu Shiren sent troops to Wancheng again, and the 20,000 horses stationed in Ba County. Now Pang Shiyuan's troops left in Xuchang are only about 20,000, so I have the courage to take the opportunity to seize his military power in one fell swoop, command the three armies, and then come to the navy to kill Pang Lin and save you! If Pang Tong had noticed it earlier, my life would be small, and the lord would be in danger if he was trapped in Xingyang!"

"The positive side endures humiliation and bears the burden, Gan Ning admires it!" Gan Ning also sighed. Of course, although Li Yan is so loyal and righteous, in fact, the reason why he did not go to the dark with Pang was more or less his own plan.

Since Pang Tong seized power, he has been a close friend for more than a month. Li Yan knew that he was neither Pang Tong's classmate, nor Jing Xiang's famous family. In the end, Pang Tong would certainly not tolerate him to control a state like this, so he appeared to be weak and secretly accumulated strength to break with Pang Tong. Pang Tong didn't expect that Li Yan would have so many ghost calculations, so he asked him to plot.

If the army is resourceful and resourceful, Wolong Fengchu has their own strengths; but in terms of political ability, Pang Tong, who is obedient, is far inferior to Zhuge Liang. His ambitious plan to support the young master was finally completely ruined by Li Yan's counterattack.

"Have you ever caught Pang Shiyuan?" Han Zhong asked in a hurry. Not only him, but also the rest of the people are looking forward to it. If you can catch Pang Tong, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

"No!" Li Yan sighed in frustration, and then sighed, "This man is really cunning. He ran away as soon as he saw something wrong. I'm afraid he went to Jingnan to defect to Liu Shuye." After a pause, Li Yan said again, "Xingba, I have now collected Pang Tong's troops, but Yanzhou and Yuzhou add up to only 70,000 or 80,000 troops. Except for the defense of Cao, there is little left. Now it seems that you still have to rely on your sailor. In addition, I sent someone to inform General Guan and Wen Zhongye immediately, and let them withdraw their troops to attack Cao Qian. Li Yan turned against the water, and the people they hired to be wary of Yanzhou could free their hands and turn their heads to deal with Cao Yan.

"This plan is very good. It should not be too late. I will send troops immediately!" Gan Ning nodded. Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered a few words in Gan Ning's ear. Gan Ning nodded repeatedly and was ready not to mention it.

And Zhao Feng and Cao Hong in Xingyang City don't know all this. Zhao Feng looked around and followed the old routine. He led the infantry to chinch Cao Hong first, and at the same time let Zhao Yun lead the cavalry to swim around. Once he found that there was a gap, he took the opportunity to come fiercely. In this way, it will inevitably drag Cao Hong down in the end.

"Generals and soldiers, form a battle and rush with me!" Looking at Zhao Feng's army on the opposite side, Cao Hong gave an order, and 90,000 Cao troops immediately gathered into six huge arrows and rushed to Zhao Feng's army. The paced soldiers and the cavalry came aggressively together, and the momentum was extremely amazing.

The weakness of the front line is that the rear of the line is unstable. If the enemy attacks with a front arrow, then the best countermeasure is to use the crane wing array to first push down the opponent's frontal attack, and then attack the opponent's back with the two wings of the crane wing array. In this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort. But if you can't withstand the opponent's strong attack first, then you will lose. As for who will support it, Zhao Feng thought about it, and only he could take on this heavy responsibility.

However, Zhao Feng now has a lot of chips in his hand. With Zhao Yun's 20,000 Xiliang iron riders, it's better to use them to cover the other party's back. Of course, Cao Hong is not a heartless person. For the 120,000 Cao army, he only used 90,000 yuan to attack Zhao Feng's frontal army, and the rest were reserved as a reserve team, ready to intercept Zhao Yun's Xiliang iron horse to protect his flank safety.

"The crossbowman, let it go!" With Niu Jin's roar, the crossbowmen in the front row of the Sichuan army, who had already been prepared, immediately picked up the crossbow in their hands and began to shoot. The powerful crossbow, the crossbow of ten arrows, the bronze crossbow of ten arrows, and all kinds of crossbows began to roar. The Cao soldiers who rushed to the front row were immediately shot to the ground.

Crossbows, copper crossbows and ordinary crossbows are enough, but the crossbows are really shocking enough. Unlike the Battle of Longxi in those years, the bow and crossbow carried by Zhao Feng this time were all the belongings he took out after careful preparation in Xichuan over the years. Although it was shot on the plain, its lethality was more than that of blocking Xia Houyuan in the street pavilion. Cao Hong and Man Chong, who served as the commander of the Chinese army, were also secretly shocked when they saw it.

"Mr. Berning, what kind of crossbow is this? Is it so powerful?" Seeing the seemingly continuous crossbow, Cao Hong was also scared. If it goes on like this, I will leave ten thousand people before I take over the battle with the other party.

"According to General Miaocai, Zhao Botao once sent someone to make a crossbow in Xichuan. I think it's this thing!" Man Chong is a little falled. After a pause, Man Chong also comforted him: "General Zilian, don't panic, although this crossbow is sharp. But with such an amazing arrow consumption, it is expected that Zhao Botao can't last.

"That's good!" Cao Hong was a little relieved when he heard the words, but Zhao Feng did not rely on crossbows alone to deal with him. The advantage of the crossbow lies in the continuous shooting, but the range is short and the arrow consumption is amazing. In addition, the arrow is too cumbersome, and even the force is not enough, which is the disadvantage of the crossbow. In order to make up for these shortcomings, Zhao Feng specially arranged a copper crossbow and a crossbow for long-range sniping, and the crossbow was only close to shoot. Moreover, the shooters are also divided into three rows, shooting repeatedly to ensure uninterrupted firepower. In this way, Cao Hong and others are under enough pressure.

Cao Hong was shocked at this time, but he didn't know that his opponent Zhao Feng was also quite surprised. At this time, Zhao Feng had known for a long time that it was not Cao Yan who fought against him today, but Cao Hong. I thought that if I changed to this urgent surname, I could easily handle it by myself. But now that he fought, his crossbow caused him such a lot of casualties, but Cao Jun still pressed it slowly and firmly. Although it was relatively slow, the formation was not chaotic after all. At the beginning, Xia Houyuan in Longxi was like this, and so is Cao Hong now.

In fact, although his ability may not be as good as that of Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, Cao Hong is definitely a famous general. At this time, Zhao Feng understood that he must not underestimate any opponent. Seeing that Cao Jun was about to come forward, Zhao Feng immediately changed his formation to an ordinary pawn with an order, ready to fight to the death with the other party. As for Zhao Yun's Xiliang Iron Rider, we still have to wait until the war is a little anxious and then join the war circle to achieve the best results.

"Kill!" I don't know who roared for the first time, and then the 200,000 troops on both sides roared together, launching the most fierce and fierce hand-to-hand combat. Countless blades and long guns were stabbed and cut off. No one knew whether his head was still connected to his neck the next moment. What they know is that they should cut the blade in their hand to the enemy who is different from their own color.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Xiahou Bahe roared, and the big knife in his hand flew up and down. Many people had already died under his knife. When he was killed, Xiahou Basuo opened his mouth and let out a howl like a wild wolf.

"What's the ghost howling?" With this scolding, a green dragon knife was cut off. He hurriedly crossed the big knife in his hand to block the knife. Xia Houba stared at the man in front of him. Although it is a classic combination of green parrot brother's robe + green dragon knife, it lacks a pair of long beard and the red face of the logo. All this is enough to show that even if this person is not Guan Yu, he must have a deep relationship with Guan Yu.

"Who are you, Guan Yu?" Xia Houba scolded angrily while cutting out a knife. Guan Ping pushed aside this move, and then shouted, "I'm Guan Ping. The thief will die!"

"Well, even if Mr. Guan Yu comes in person, I'm not afraid!" Xiahou Ba disdained, and then waved a knife to fight with Guan Ping. On the other side, Zhao Yun, who was swimming around, was entangled by the ban.
